I used to do
more masks, especially store bought, but I mostly got sick of doing them and
didn’t take the time to do it anymore. Avocado masks have always been a classic
and go to for DIY facial masks and today I’m going to share my experiences with
them!
What I did
Recently, I
remembered how much fun avocado masks are and got the idea to do one. Avocados
are probably one of my favorite foods, so I ate half of a ripe hass avocado and
mixed the rest.
Preparing an
avocado facial is pretty simple. Basically, you mash it up into a creamy paste
and apply. There are some optional other ingredients like lemon juice, olive
oil, egg whites, and honey. For normal skin, adding olive oil, lemon juice,
orange juice, and even weird ingredients like boiled carrots and yogurt is
nourishing and good for you. For dry skin, olive oil, orange juice, honey, egg
yolk, and aloe vera are great. For oily skin, add egg whites, lemon juice, honey,
yogurt, and cucumber.
When I do
avocado masks, my skin always feels great afterward. After a plain mask, my
skin feels extra clean, but also extra moisturized. I recommend them to
everyone with all different skin types.
Extra
ingredients and Benefits
Overall
Avocado is
great for every skin type. If all of these other ingredients seem annoying or
confusing, you could just have a plain avocado mask. That’s what I do most of
the time.
Dry
Banana and
olive oil will both smooth and moisturize. Honey is wondering for nourishing
and is also in normal and oily avocado masks. Lastly, egg yolks will nourish
your skin with vitamins and all that other good stuff.
Oily
Egg whites
regulate oiliness and are great for inflammation and any redness in your face.
The combination of honey, yogurt, and cucumber together with avocado will
nourish and cleanse oily skin as well.
